Delivering neighbors' newspapers to their doorstep


So, this week, we're going for something simple for a "Sweet Treat" act of service. It's going to be beautiful this week and we're SO looking forward to some afternoon walks around the neighborhood! Greyson can try out his new scooter and Rie can practice the pedals on her new bike. Today, we notice a lot of newspapers on the sidewalk. So, Greyson made it his mission to take the newspapers up to each doorstep. The owners will just have to open their door to get it, it makes the yards a little cleaner too and Momma, here, is hoping it'll wear them out for a nap when we get home. Brilliant! :)

Taco Soup for Teachers


When we moved into our house 6 years ago, we had no idea that we had such a treasure right across the street from us. Greyson goes to school at Wee Care Preschool at the church across the street and it is heaven sent! The teachers are so amazing and pour so much love and time into the lives of all the little kids there. Next year, when Greyson is in kindergarten I will sooooo miss the small intimate classrooms, his face lighting up when he enters his class with friends and the way the teachers greet him at the door. I guess I'll just have to start Riley next year, so I can continue walking her across the street with other nieghborhood kids for the next 3 years! :) So, we made some taco soup in the crock pot for his teachers to enjoy for lunch. Perfect for a rainy chilly day!
